So says Byron Lazlo, the promoter behind Thursday's Panoptikon event. (That's not him in the photo, by the way.) He says the owners didn't want to fight the city anymore -- a few months ago, the City Council denied the club a specific use permit, which it needed to stay in business. The council cited crime problems. (Owner Shelley Martinez has disputed that.)
"It's the end of a huge era," Lazlo says. "It's the end of the big nightclub era in Deep Ellum."
Club One opened on Main and Hall Streets in 1991. Its last day open is Saturday.
